• 14 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: The reason I needed to catch your eye is because of the way he phrases the rest of the amendment. The draft reads, ―…unless otherwise agreed by the parties…‖ The parties in the arbitration ought to be given the first hand in terms of the choice of an arbiter so that its them first having the choice before you assume that there is going to be no choice of an arbiter. He needs to rework that particular one. The third thing is with regard to the rules of arbitration that should apply whenever there is a misunderstanding. You only agree ... view

• 14 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to support this Bill. It is a Bill that creates very interesting provisions. view
• 14 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: First, the rights of lactating mothers and those of children, because of employment spaces and distances, should not be curtailed now that this Bill is going to see the light of the day. Our mothers, for a long time, have suffered because they have to report to work and the baby has to be weaned early enough for mothers to go to work. Providing for their needs by having a place where mothers can have safe havens and places for breastfeeding is good and timely. view
• 14 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Clause 3 of this Bill provides for expressing of breast milk. Because we have already created space for lactation, I am wondering if at all there will then be need for expressing milk. Maybe, there ought to have been a provision for care givers to be allowed in the work place. Clause 4 prescribes the manner in which the lactation environment needs to look like. I am of the view that the lactation space should be more of a regulation issue as opposed to providing for it in law under a substantive clause. You do not want to straightjacket the ... view
• 14 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: One other thing we need to look at and focus on is that there could be employers who may not have good intentions, and who may go against the spirit of this law. I am happy that there is provision for penalties against employers who may not meet the prescribed criteria. view
• 14 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: This Bill is forward looking and mothers need to make use of it. For a long time, the rights of breastfeeding mothers have been curtailed. That issue is going to be dealt with. The provision on flexible work arrangements for breastfeeding mothers is also a plus so that mothers are not punished by virtue of the fact that they have little children.

• 14 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Clause 6 is fairly important with regard to having flexible working conditions and the manner of assignment of work, so that instead of having loss of man-hours, at least, the flexibility will give mothers a chance to work in a manner that is also psychologically good for them and for the children. Clause 7 of this Bill, which provides that there must be spaces where baby-changing facilities are provided for, is also good. The baby-changing facilities ought to be part and parcel of the lactation area. The lactation area should not just be for purposes of feeding, but they should ... view
• 13 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the Refugees Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 29 of 2016) be now read the Third Time. I also request, Hon. Onyura, Member for Butula, to second. view
• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I agree with this particular amendment. view
